SEO Training Course

SEO training is critical for anyone wanting to excel at search engine optimization. Our established training program is the best face-to-face SEO program available. We have been selected as the SEO training partner for the major search industry and Web marketing conferences including Search Engine Strategies (SES), Search Marketing Expo (SMX) and offer courses across the globe.

Our SEO Training

We've been accredited as one of the top SEO training programs by more than 2,500 students. Read for yourself the student reviews of our SEO Training Course. And our course includes a subscription to our SEOToolSetTM - powerful and fast SEO power tools written to specifically support the content of the course. But do not be confused, this is a concentrated and comprehensive course written and presented to train you on SEO - and to empower you to make a real difference.

Newly Updated Course!
The SEOToolSetTM Training
course is new and improved. Completely updated and now packed with even more useful SEO tips and reference information.
We also just released the next generation of our search engine
optimization tools, SEOToolSetTM v.5.

The redesigned
SEOToolSetTM is better, stronger and faster software for your
SEO projects — and every student gets a free subscription! The course includes access to the SEOToolSet v.5 Standard
Version for 12 months, valued
at $1079in subscriptions alone.

Even if you've taken the course in the past, the updated material and powerful new tools make it worth taking again.

We also offer special discounts for returning students of our one-day SEO training workshop at leading search marketing conferences. Conference workshop attendees can subtract the cost of what they paid for the one-day class (proof of receipt required) from the total cost of registration for the Standard and Advanced (together) classroom SEO training in Southern California.

If you ever wanted to get trained in SEO, now is the time to take the SEOToolSetTM Training course!

Why should you participate in face-to-face SEO training? We find that about 20 percent of our classes are question-and-answer time. Students need that time to understand the material and to relate the material to their individual situations.

We teach a comprehensive search engine optimization training program covering the science and methods that companies use to significantly improve rankings. The content is designed for everyone that wants to beat their competition for those who really need to know SEO. Marketing managers through web programmers, novice through seasoned professionals, this course will teach you to do SEO.

The standard course training binder we provide is more than 350 full-color pages, chock full of need-to-know optimization information. Attending our class also gives you annual subscriptions to our tools for multiple domains, and access to our support team for questions. And we offer a copy of our 768 page Wiley book on Search Engine Optimization to backup the course materials.

If being second best is not good enough, then a face-to-face SEO class is the only way to go.

The SEO training course content is comprehensive and covers all of our standard practices in a three-day to four-and-half day search engine optimization training course designed for marketing and Web professionals.

Many companies send staff, then send more the next month, then more after that. Larger clients complete our course, then schedule our course to be presented at their facility for groups of 20 to 50. Class size is limited to about 50 students, and often fills weeks before the class.

The day-and-a-half Advanced SEO Certification course is designed for professional SEOs -- those who need to know about servers and sitewide programs, are power-users of the tools, and who are interested in completing our Certification exams, showing a commitment to our SEO methodologies and ethics.

SEOToolSet™ training is taught by experienced instructors with a comprehensive knowledge of organic search engine optimization, specifically, and the high tech industry in general. Our SEO training instructors are teachers as well as SEO specialists, including industry leaders such as Bruce Clay, who has been breaking new ground in search engine marketing and offering SEO services since 1996. They look forward to meeting you and answering your questions.

We have taught over 2,500 classroom students, with many returning annually year-after-year (so this is obviously a high-value course). Many taking the Standard course upgrade to our Advanced SEO course during the Standard course -- something that simply would not happen unless the class exceeded expectations.

And the classroom format with questions and answers, discussions over lunch and breaks, and networking about course content makes this a superior presentation format for complex SEO material.

Added perks to our classroom training include a chance to be interviewed for our weekly webcast, SEM Synergy, during the breaks, and a special luncheon with the CEO of our SEO-friendly CMS partner, Pixelsilk, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of content management systems and SEO.

Simply put, if you want classroom SEO training, you must take this course. These folks have!

Certification offers several benefits including use of our tools with several logins for multiple accounts, spam audits to ensure compliance with standards and the right to display the certification seal -- an industry recognized standard of excellence.

The instructor is very patient as I asked many questions during the course. She also explains topics very clearly. I liked the labs the best as they were a great way to put everything we learned to the test (that was very helpful!!!). Also, the article/case-study on Siloing for the Heifer company was extremely helpful.
